Sam Wyche is a 27 year veteran in the sport of football. He then moved on to sports telecasting as an analyst on CBS.

Successfully coaching for several years, Sam was key to one of the biggest turnarounds in NFL history when the Cincinnati Bengals went from a record of 4-11 in 1987 to Super Bowl contenders the following year. Sam's coaching career includes Head Coach at Indiana University before taking the same post with the Cincinnati Bengals and another Super Bowl (XXIII) when the Bengals played the 49ers. After four years as Head Coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sam ended his coaching career in 1995.Following his years on the field, Sam paired with Marv Albert on NBC's Sunday broadcasts of the AFC. After a year, he was promoted to NBC's pre-game and half time shows and then joined CBS as an analyst with Kevin Harlan.
